    I thought he had passed away! He's still with us at 90!!!! Way to go Bob! The world is a brighter place with him in it.

    May he live for a thousand years because the world will be diminished when he’s gone.

    Uecker found the secret to life. I can’t think of anyone who could enjoy his profession more. He is Baseball’s ambassador and an American treasure!

    I used to be a paramedic in Milwaukee and often I'd work Brewers games, Bell ambulance. Met Bob a few times and he was so gracious. Appreciated what we did as we appreciated what he did for Milwaukee
  • Bob Uecker has a World Series ring. Hes a world champion with the Cardinals in 1964.

    One of my favorite humans in the world. Always was, always will be. He is larger than life to me.

    You know your best friends, the ones that make you laugh about things at work, happened decades ago, life, being old...and you can not have seen for years and within minutes of reuniting with them the laughter begins....That's what watching this video was like. He's a national treasure because he makes us laugh. Yeah within seconds of starting it was old times again. Thanks Mr Uecker, in these times of great division..where the heck are we going/becomming? You remind me of whats' good about life...being an American, being a baseball fan...tx.

    Of the thousands of ball players ONLY Bob Uecker has taken the sport to different levels. With baseball he is a comedian and an actor and still a very down to earth guy!!!

    I love Bob Uecker. I mean that. Growing up, my family really appreciated humor and we all LOVED Bob Uecker as the funniest man alive. The crazy part is this was the late 70s thru early 90s in Houston! This was bf social media shrunk the world. He is a legend! When his commercials came on tv, my (usually commercial hating) family would all get quiet and soak up his Miller Lite ads "ah, these fans, I love em" and "he missed tag! He missed the tag!"and "I must be in the front row." He transcended sports (tho we all loved baseball). And we couldn't watch enough "Major League." He was so great. "Christ, I can't find it. The hell with it." And if he was on the Tonight Show, my brothers and I were allowed to stay up late to watch him. I still watch clips and start smiling. The guy is a genius in a way that is truly one of a kind. His humor surpasses mere self-deprecation as it leaves one feeling like "not only should I not take myself too seriously but maybe i shouldn't take the blowhards who surround me too seriously either. None of us have this thing figured out." Yet I don't recall him getting laughs at the expense of others. He's so human, endearing and so damned funny. I appreciate it even more as I get older. What a treasure.

    Honestly, I have had the pleasure of being able to enjoy The Uke all 65 years of my life... I've never met him personally, yet I truly feel like we're good friends... great documentary... the peterman...

    I’ve been listening to Bob since 1982. Summer in Wisconsin is beautiful. Listening to him on headphones makes doing yard-work enjoyable. I hope Attanasio makes some signings at the trade deadline, and gets Mr. Baseball a long overdue Brewer’s championship ring. God Bless you Bob.
  • @waltdavis29
    I smiled so big watching this I think my face cracked. Thanks Bob, been watching you for 60 years
  • Reminds me of my dad. Self deprecating and downright hilarious. Bless you Bob
  • I've loved Ueker ever since I was a kid and Mr. Belvedere was in syndication. I didn't get into baseball until I was an adult, and slowly coming to realize who he really was just made me love him a billion times more. He really is one of the funniest humans of all time.
  • Seems like we saw those first few Carson show spots. His deadpan and delivery and quick wit were hysterical. Nothing seemed planned, he was just rattling off whatever popped into his head. Along the way, so many times he made us all laugh. What a treasure.
  • @OldFart2023
    OMG this was good! Tears and laughter, a combination that makes one feel well!!
